Artex removal for East Horsley properties
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. People often contact us about textured walls before a refit and landlord refurbishments, including swirl patterns, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
In East Horsley, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Common questions in East Horsley
Do textured ceilings in East Horsley homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover East Horsley from London?
East Horsley is about 21 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will explain the options.
How much does Artex removal cost in East Horsley?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.

Why people call us in East Horsley
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, so they may start to flake.
In older properties, we often see:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings before skimming
Non-domestic buildings like The Raleigh School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.

For landlords, agents and businesses

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
